Content: Instrumental, no words, but we can deduce some from the Title: 'Wild Man Blues' - blues are generally about hardship/angst/human conflict etc.

Harmony:

Delivery

We hear a chord progression being played by the banjo/piano in a pulsing type patter

Very basic harmony (closer to a folk song than Beethoven...)

Rhythm:

Provided by the pulsing in the piano , strums on the banjo, some hits on the drums along with those

Other Observations:

Recording Quality is poor due to technology

Recording only 3:00 (also result of recording technology)

Features mostly the trumpet, not other instruments

All acoustic instruments (non-electric)

Terell Stafford QuintetStop Start - 2015

Instrumentation: Trumpet, Saxophone, Bass, Piano, Drums

Melody:

Delivery

Instrumental - both trumpet and Sax

Solos in Sax, Trumpet, Piano, Drums

Content

Still instrumental, no words, but much faster and more frantic and disjointed rather than the slower relaxed/laid back vibe

​Harmony

Harmony now provided but he Piano and Bass - much more independent and improvisatory in nature (not just pulsing - we can hear the piano doing different things at different times - still links up with the other instruments at times)

Rhythm:

Most obviously provided by a swing rhythm in the drums that is played throughout the entire song (we also hear the use of drum cymbals now...)

No longer get pulsing in piano/banjo, but pulsing in the bass every beat

Other:

Much longer in time and more complicated in form - more complicated melody and scheme for who is soloing where

much better recording quality (technology)

General Differences:

Some differences in Instrumentation : Subtraction of Banjo/Clarinet/Tuba. Clarinet replaced by Saxophone with similar roll. Pulsing of Banjo and Low notes of tuba replaced by the upright bass

Big difference in how each instrument is used , with everybody being much more independent of each other.

Drums now play groove throughout rather than pulsing hits sporadically with banjo. Drums are independent of all other instruments, with a solo now as well

Piano - still providing the harmony - but much more independent and improvisatory in nature. We can hear he is doing his own thing rather than sticking to the pulsing with the banjo

All instruments are now featured independently rather than a band accompanying a trumpet
